How you categorize your products will determine where they appear for retailers searching or browsing on Faire. We have created site categories that help retailers easily discover the products that they’re looking for; in order to accurately categorize your items, we assign each product a “product type.”
What is the product type?
A product type defines what the object is concretely.
Each product can only have one product type, and all product types are automatically mapped to their relevant subcategory (or multiple subcategories) on the site. The high, mid, and low category and subcategory levels represent the set categories in which your SKU will appear.
For example, Apron is the product type shown below:
Certain product types may fall into multiple category mappings, like in this case with Apron. Other product types may only fall into 1 category mapping.
How will categories appear in my Faire shop?
The high category levels will be the main categories displayed in your Faire shop. Once clicked, the high category levels expand to display the mid category levels followed by the low category levels. This allows retailers to refine their product search within your Faire shop.
For example, your ‘Apron’ will appear under the ‘Home Decor’ category. Other products with the high level category ‘Home Decor’ will also be displayed here. The mid category level ‘Garden & Outdoor’ and low category level ‘BBQ Accessories’ are then available for retailers to click and search specific products in each category level.
Please note: the names of the categories, product types, and mapping are set by Faire and are not customizable.
